SSPlus Screensaver - Photo Slideshow Beta

[mvallevand]

It is odd - especially as I see MediaNextTrack and MediaPreviousTrack...

After more testing, I see the Ctrl-S followed immediately by a MediaStop

Alex, right-click stop also has the same behaviour. Maybe you can duplicate that?

Nice tip Martin - helps with testing - TBH, I'd never really thought about Multi-Media keyboards.

When I use right-click, I still don't see a MediaStop OnKeyDown(), but I've modified my Notify event code to compensate.

The attached should behave itself a bit better when music starts and stops. Could you also check the Playlist Starting indicator after Alt-R?

Great your update with my MB4 update fixes everything for me now. The mouse shouldn't generate the MediaStop but it was the same behavior.

Yes, I should have mentioned that it was fixed after I fixed MB4. TBH I was not a big fan of it, and I have renamed it, so if you might see this in my logs.

20:20:10.560 [DEBUG][1] Unable to RenderImage(): C:\Users\Public\NPVR\skin\Default\SSPlus\PlaylistStarting.png

Anyway great work to both you and Jaggy, I can shut up now and let others comment!

I have installed the latest SSPlus from the Wiki onto my nPVR 2.5.9 plus patches, but I cannot get the Photo Slideshow to work. I setup the SSPConfig.xml as such based on what was given in the Wiki page (screensaver kicks in after a minute for debug purposes):

Code:

<settings>
  <viewIndex>NoFavoriteSelected~False|NoFavoriteSelected~False|NoFavoriteSelected~False|SlideShow-NoMusic~False|NoFavoriteSelected~False|NoFavoriteSelected~False</viewIndex>
  <artSource>embedded|directory</artSource>
  <artExtension>jpg|gif|png</artExtension>
  <showClockOnStatusBar>true</showClockOnStatusBar>
  <moveFrequency>10</moveFrequency>
  <ClientSpecificSettings>
    <PCH-0006DC420DBE>
    </PCH-0006DC420DBE>
    <MVP-000DFE237D4E>
    </MVP-000DFE237D4E>
  </ClientSpecificSettings>
</settings>
<slideShowStatus>False|auto|0|0|0</slideShowStatus>
<slideShowCycleMode>S|S</slideShowCycleMode>
<PictureLibrary extensions="^.+\.(bmp|jpg|png|tiff|tif|gif)$">
  <Collection name="Nature">
    <Directory>C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Nature\</Directory>
  </Collection>
</PictureLibrary>

I set the slideShowStatus field from False to True, but still no luck. I tried pressing ALT-Y (Yellow Button) to see if it would start the slide show, but no good. I have 73 JPG files in the directory stated on the HTPC. I cannot figure out what's missing or if I am doing something wrong. What does the False|auto|0|0|0 and S|S fields for those sub sections do?

I also attached my nPVR logs.

Thanks for any help on the matter.

This is Alex's side of things not mine, but I'm fairly sure you need to have

Code:

<slideShowStatus>False|auto|0|0|0</slideShowStatus>
<slideShowCycleMode>S|S</slideShowCycleMode>
<PictureLibrary extensions="^.+\.(bmp|jpg|png|tiff|tif|gif)$">
  <Collection name="Nature">
    <Directory>C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Nature\</Directory>
  </Collection>
</PictureLibrary>

after <settings>

but above </settings>
not after it

[ACTCMS]

As Jaggy says, all SSPlus settings need to be between between <settings> and </settings>

I've ammended the wiki to make this clearer. The <slideShowStatus> and <slideShowCycleMode> elements are not intended to be manuallly edited - SSPlus uses them to remember your operational preferences between NPVR sessions.

Thanks for the help, got it working smooth now. I should have known better on the placement! :-)
